I cannot and will not be involved on an ongoing basis, unless TSRA/NRA take on the project. If we do, then I'll jump in with both feet.
Chas.
Even if you put the statements before and after this comment in place, the comment still holds the same meaning.
Charles, Are you such a weenie that you have to wait for the "boss" to say you can do something? Grow some and don't wait for the "boss" to OK the move on open carry. Push the issue yourself. Push for open carry. If you are "in" with them as deep as you pretend to be, it shouldn't be a problem. Personally, I think that thinking like a sheeple and waiting for the OK so you won't piss anybody off is, well, not showing any leadership. What ever you think of open carrry is irrelevent. You are in a position to help move gun rights BACK to where they should be, and yet you refuse to move without prior approval. This is appalling to me.
Maybe OCDO is not doing things the "right" way, but by golly, we are trying do do something without begging for it. I just don't see that we should have to beg for anything from the oligharcy that is in place in D.C. or Austin. That is the way I see what NRA and TSRA does. They have a bad case of Oliver Twist Syndrome I guess. "Please, sir, may I have some more." I think we should be able to push, not beg, them to act. After all, we are the people, we are the boss, or, at least, we should be.
Give me a break, Charles. [weak-minded profanity used for the express purpose of violating forum rules was deleted].

Rather than take a "hand picked" quote to make your argument, it would be well for you to read ALL of Chas.' posts regarding this issue.
IMO, your objections are grossly unfair.
Also, we do try to exercise a certain amount of tact and decorum around here when making a point. I am sure when you re-read your post, you will spot the "offense" in it.
I know of no one here that discourages "spirited debate", but gratuitous remarks questioning a person's manhood are definitely "out of place" don't you think?

Flint.
